#Property Paths

.Options .AllowDockAsTabbedDocument

#Remarks

The DockManager can be used together with the DocumentManager component. The DocumentManager allows you to present documents in a number of ways. One of the document presentation styles is a Tabbed UI, which can be enabled by assigning a TabbedView object to the DocumentManager.View property. In this mode, dock panels gain additional features, such as the ability to be docked as tabs.

The AllowDockAsTabbedDocument property, accessible via the panel’s DockPanel.Options object, specifies if such a behavior is enabled for the current DockPanel. Tabbed Documents, in turn, can be not docked to DockPanels. See the Interaction with Dock Panels topic to learn more.
